Arrest? What kind of moron wrote this?
Evidently someone with no knowledge of the US judicial system and poor impulse control.
Unfortunately there is a lot of false information here. Sullivan had a certain amount of time to take action. He waited until the last moment to ask the Appeals Court to hear the case with a full panel. And the appeals court stayed their order until they decide if they will or not. More briefs have to be filed by both sides.
How ever I do agree that Sullivan is a lawless judge who had no right to not dismiss the case in the first place. He is deep state. And some the appeals justices are as well. So I don’t know how this will go.
You certainly may. He is also, now that I think of it, galactically, spectacularly, splendiferously, cunctatious*!
*Adjective
cunctatious (comparative more cunctatious, superlative most cunctatious)
(formal) Tending to delay or linger.
Since he is behaving so irrationally I think that what is appropriate would be to grab him up off the street and involuntarily commit him to 72-hr mental evaluation.
Arrest this ass with a swat team at 3am. Seems to be the new stansard. Oh wait, that is reserved for innocent men.
Way past time for our Not SO Supreme Court to tell these judges where their power begins and ends.
Almost certainly not years. If the petition for rehearing is denied (a majority of all the active duty judges on the Circuit must vote in favor for it to be granted), the case will be over in a few weeks (barring a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court). If rehearing is granted, we are looking at about 6 months or so to a decision.
Federal judges, of any political persuasion, do not like to feel that they have been trifled with. Judge Sullivan twice put General Flynn under oath and each time asked him if he was pleading guilty voluntarily, if he had been threatened, if he was really guilty, if he was satisfied with his lawyers, and every other possible question to make the guilty plea bullet-proof. He now feels that either Flynn lied to him or that the Administration is pulling strings to help one of its own.
Ultimately, he is going to have to let Flynn go, but he wants to make clear to the next defendant not to play games in his courtroom--ether plead guilty or go to trial, but don't plead guilty and then try to worm out of it. Judges get defendants trying to do that all the time; Sullivan has seen it all, and is not happy to see it again.
The one liberal on the 3-Judge Panel must have asked for a full hearing must have asked to have a new hearing by all 11 circuit judges. Sullivan is beginning to piss off a lot of judge and lawyers.
He will be lucky if a federal prosecutor or defense attorney ever again allows Sullivan to of their cases.
He has been sitting on the motion to withdraw the guilty plea since January and has ordered Sidney Powell not to file any more amendments to he r motion with new exculpatory information until all the information has been released to her.
I think Sidney should have filed a writ of mandamus to try yo get him to make the decision on the motion to withdraw at the same time as the motion to dismiss issue.
